Our Spaghetti alla Puttanesca is a bold and flavorful Italian classic that transforms simple pantry staples into a savory, slightly spicy, and aromatic masterpiece. Rooted in Southern Italy, particularly Naples, this dish is celebrated for its robust flavors and effortless preparation.

Sorrel is a festive Caribbean drink made from the red sepals of the hibiscus plant, infused with cinnamon, cloves, and ginger for a tangy, sweet, and spiced flavor. Here’s how to make it:

1. Boil: Bring 8 cups of water to a boil, then add 2 cups of dried sorrel, 2–3 cinnamon sticks, 4–5 cloves, and sliced ginger.

2. Steep: Simmer for 10–15 minutes, then let it steep for a few hours or overnight.

3. Strain: Remove the solids by straining the liquid into a pitcher.

4. Sweeten: Stir in sugar to taste while warm.

5. Chill: Refrigerate and serve cold, with a splash of rum if desired.

Apéro

In France, “Apéro” is more than just snacking—it’s a cherished social tradition. Taking place between 6 and 8 PM, Apéro is a pre-dinner gathering where friends and family relax, unwind, and enjoy each other’s company. It centers around drinks like wine, champagne, kir, or apéritif cocktails.

The food is light and meant to complement the drinks, featuring items like olives, charcuterie, cheese, nuts, crudités, and small tartines. Unlike a full meal, Apéro is casual and laid-back, focusing on enjoying the moment and good company.
